production checks

cache rules should be written for people who will debug them later. name the rule, document the bypass conditions, and include examples of pages that should and should not be cached.

large content sites need predictable background work. queues, cron events, and import scripts should be idempotent, logged, and safe to run again. that makes recovery much easier when a request stops halfway through.

implementation checklist

  • review query plans
  • add indexes carefully
  • test with realistic data
  • compare before and after metrics
  • document the migration
